Dad Devi Road Village DhakarKheri Tehsil Ladpura Wastewater Treatment Plant, Ummedganj, Rajasthan

Dad Devi Road Village DhakarKheri Tehsil Ladpura is a wastewater treatment plant located in Ummedganj, a locality in the Kota district of Rajasthan, India. The plant has been constructed and serves a population of 133,624, placing it in the category of a medium-to-large agglomeration under Indian urban wastewater management standards. As a plant in India, it operates under the regulatory framework of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and the Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board (RSPCB). For agglomerations of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required, and the plant is expected to comply with the general discharge standards set by the Environment Protection Rules, 1986. The infrastructure is designed to handle the wastewater from the surrounding community. The plant discharges into the local drainage system, which ultimately flows into the Chambal River, a major tributary of the Yamuna River and part of the Ganges basin. The Chambal River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the region. The plant's operation helps protect the river from untreated sewage, contributing to the health of the downstream ecosystem.

The plant's treated effluent likely enters local watercourses that drain into the Chambal River, a key tributary of the Yamuna River within the Ganges basin. The Chambal River supports a rich biodiversity, including the critically endangered Ganges river dolphin and various migratory bird species. Proper treatment at this plant is essential to prevent nutrient and pathogen pollution in this ecologically sensitive river system.
